DULUTH PUSHING AHEAD.
The City on the Lake Project i'm e
New Enterprises in Various Lines.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Minn., March 7.-There is
movement to put III a very large iron and
steel ship building plant here. A company
has been formed and the details are about
finished, but not ready to be given to the
public. The prime movers are some gentle
men from the lower lakes and Duluth men.
Capt. Alex McDougall an oId-time lake
man and ship builder has charge of the in
terestS of the company until they send
their representative up from below. There
is no doubt that this work will be begun at
once and will be an enterprise of great inn
portance for this city. There is every pros
ipect that the Duluth e Iron Range will
run motor between Duluth and New Lon
don. A motor has been sent for from Phil
adelphia and will be here in about two
months. They will run it over the Duluth
& Iron Range tracks. The chamber of
commerce held very large and important
meeting and appointed committee of five
to wait upon the manager of different rail-
roads centering here. These resolutions
were adopted:
Whereas. The city of Duluth is rapidly ad-
vancing in population, wealth and CONNER
cial Importance. and its enterprising citizens
are making earnest efforts for the promotion
OF public and private improvements, in erect
ing hotels. county and city buildings, increase
of manufacturing and jobbing establishments,
extension of water mains and system of sew
erage worthy of great city, and all of which
tends to benefit the numerous railroads CEN
tering here; therefore
Resolved, That in the judgment of this
chamber the time has come when the railway
companies doing business here should second
these efforts and give US q union building on
a scale with the wealth and enterprise, the
public spirit and needs of the community
which so literally patronizes these roads.
The Duluth chamber of commerce has
taken up the matter of having
SAULT CANAL CONVENTION,
to be held either at Duluth or the Sault Ste
Marie, and take measures for the improve
ment of the canal. 1t is learned that it is
the intention of those in charge of the
Sault to close the old locks and put the
several years to build. and leave only one
set of locks to be used. The capacity of
both sets of locks at present is taxed to the
utmost to take care of the traffic
that goes through, and if any acc-
dent should occur to the remaining
lock it would completely paralize the Lake
Superior trade and is danger that should
not be overlooked. AT present when one
set of locks need repairing the other set can
be used. 1t is proposed that Gen. Poe, who
has charge there at present, be asked to
suspend operations on the new works until
after this convention which is to be held
early in July, and see if the third and larger
set of locks cannot be put on either side of
the present locks and leave the canal free
as at present. 1t is proposed to have repre-
sentatives from all the large commercial
bodies in the United States. and July is
suggested as day to hold this convention.

The Signal Service

WASHINGTON. March THE signal
service is likely to be sadly pinched by the
failure of the general deficiency appropria-
tion bill. The deficiency estimates for this
service aggregated $23, ITO, large part of
the total being estimated for transportation
and mileage. The estimate for transporta-
ton OF men and luggage was small item
amounting to but 81, 1926, but the failure
of congress to appropriate that sum will
cause much embarrassment, for, according
to the statement of the chief signal officer,
it is now impossible to move man, even
to discharge or re-enlist him, or to replace
those who are dead OF dangerously ill.
The term of the service of a number of
members expired. but they must be re-
tanned in the corps from lack Of money to
send them to their homes. The most Sc
rious consequence of the failure of the bill
perhaps will be the discontinuance of the

general, and afterwards secretary OF war,
w. w. Belknap. His command, the Third

army corps, was encamped outside COlum-
bia. S. c., at the time when that city was

an orderly, hurried to the burning capitol
and made his first find on the desk OF the
presiding officer of the senate, red mo-
rocco book of parliamentary rules inscribed
in gilt letters: William d. Porter, presi-
dent of the senate" Subsequently Gen.
Belllnap met Mr.. Porter and returned this
book to the proper owner. Leaving the

imgton picture was mentioned. This was
repeated to Senator Wade Hampton, who,
in courteous note to Gen. Belknap of the
Sd Of February, 1887, requested that the
picture might be returned to the state of

with Gen. Belknap's views, and he
promptly answered the senator's note,
stating that it would afford him great
pleasure to comply with his request In
the same communication he stated that he
had already instructed his family to forward
the picture in question to Washington, and
that it would be delivered to Senator Hamp-
ton for transmittal to the state authorities.
The day before the Forty-ninth congress
adjourned Gen. Belknap sent the engrav-
ing, together with the following note, to
Senator Hampton:

ton: In accordance with my letter to you on
Feb. 4, in reply to yours of prior date, send

Decline TO Express Sympathy for
the Dying Pastor of Plymouth
SrN,1urcs,


CHICAGO. March 7.-An extraordinary
scene took place at the weekly meeting of
the Congregational ministers this morning.
A topic which came up was the sickness
from which Henry Ward Beecher is be-
lieved to be dying, and the statement of
some of the pastors present took the shape
of resolutions Of coincidence which it was
proposed to send to Mrs. Beecher by tele-
graph. This was opposed by number of
the ministers their opposition being based
on the alleged heterOdOAy of Mr.. Beechers
views regarding future salvation and pun
ishment. An acrimonious debate ensued,
and finally the motion to adopt the
resolution was lost. Great excitement pre-
vailed. and the most strenuous efforts were
made to keep the affair from the newspa.
pers. The resolutions were offered by Rev.
f. f. Williams, of South church. The
principal ground for opposition was Mr.
Beecher's view on the future state. and DR..
+. 2. Cook, among others, contended that
the meeting as a body sent resolutions of
coincidence to the dying preacher the action
might be construed into an expression of
opinion favorable to his theological senti-
ments. This was not the only attack. how
ever. One minister arose and said that he
would not extend sympathy to man who
was
CHARGED WITH IMMORTALITY.
and had never cleared himself of the charge
The friends of Mr.. Beecher hotly attacked
the speaker who had alluded to the scandal.
The resolution when put to an informal
received majority, but was Withdrawn by
the proposer, who asserted that it would be
i'll bad taste to send resolutions that were
not unanimous. Rev. E. p. Goodwin. who
opposed the resolutions. refused to make
public his reasons further than that he did
not coincide with Mr.. Beecher on matters
of theology. cit won't do to make this
matter public" he said II wish the reso-
lutonS had never been offered, or that I
had not been there; but once they
were proposed and [ was there it was my
duty to speak against them. Mr.. Beecher
and the majority of Congregational minis
tiers did not agree ON certain questions, and
those of us who opposed the resolutions felt
that if passed, it would place us before the
public in the light of sympathizing with
the reverse views. If necessary 1 will
make public at future time all my reasons
for opposing the measures. But | can't
tell now. l know too much. and many
facts have come into my family. Mr..
Beecher's brother is member of my
church." Prof. c. +. Wilcox, who favored
the resolutions, said: 81 was deeply cha
grined and mortified by the talk of certain
minister. Mr.. Beecher is a member of the
Congregational body in good standing, and
there was no reason for Withholding sym
pathy to his wife in her bereavement. Z:
The clergyman who alluded so bIuntly to
the Tilton scandal is Rev. F. l.. Hammond.
He is without congregation, being on the

night to say word regarding the speeches
